Chapter 1131 - 1130: Having a Child
"Little sister, your skill has no difficulty at all."With a clink, the silver needles fell to the ground, creating several large pits on impact.
Tang Rao was choked by the dirt flung up from the pits.
"To actually try to harm Tang Rao's dad, I thought you were just throwing needles, but I didn't expect them to explode!"
She was just a minor deity, so how could she cause such a powerful explosion with the silver needles? If Tang Rao hadn't been cautious, he would have fallen into Tao Er's trap.
"If you're willing to tell Tang Rao's dad how you did it, he promises not to kill you. How about that?"
If Tao Er were smart, she could see this as a deal.
"No way, stop dreaming."
Tao Er spat. Just because Tang Rao got lucky and escaped this time, it didn't mean his luck would always hold. With just ten needles, there were still twenty or thirty waiting for him.
"I will dream, and in my dreams, I will make you wail. Haha, come on, come and kill me, I'm waiting for you to try!"
Tang Rao was furious, and he didn't even know why—his sixth sense told him that if Tao Er lived, she might show up and ambush him whenever he kissed Li Qi Qi in the future.
"Tang Rao, watch out!"
Tao Er focused all her power on the silver needles, sending another ten flying. Explosive sounds boomed around Tang Rao, echoing across the entire island.
If Li Qi Qi still hadn't heard it, then there was something wrong with her ears.
"Aren't you eager to kill me? Let Tang Rao's dad show you the power a minor deity can unleash, and let's see who wins between a maid and a manager."
Tang Rao's move was swift, accurate, and fierce. At a speed beyond the naked eye, he grabbed Tao Er by the neck, squeezing hard until her body went limp.
"Speak, little girl. Who sent you?"
Tang Rao's lips curled up slightly. As Tao Er's spirit wavered, she found herself captivated only by such a god-like man.
No wonder Li Qi Qi would never allow Tao Er to speak ill of Tang Rao.
"Who could send me? I've served the Miss since I was young, protecting her, ensuring she's not wronged. I also have to ward off cunning men like you from poisoning my Miss. You got lucky today, hmph hmph."
Tang Rao only gave Tao Er a chance to catch her breath. She said what she wanted to say, but whether Tang Rao would believe her was another matter. This little girl appeared innocent, but who knows what she was actually plotting.
"But today it's my good luck, so I'll deal with you now. You've run out of chances."
Tang Rao stuffed some kind of elixir pill into Tao Er's mouth, which melted immediately. She struggled to spit it out but didn't get the chance.
Tang Rao released his grip, letting her collapse to the ground.
He gestured to Li Qi Qi, who was hiding behind a tree not far away, and she obediently walked over to Tang Rao's side.
"Tang Rao, why did Tao Er try to kill you?"
Li Qi Qi had seen the whole scene and still didn't understand why Tao Er hated Tang Rao so much to the point of wanting him dead.
"Li Qi Qi, if I, Li Tao, can't kill you with my own hands, then I'll kill the man you love the most! Hahaha! The man you love caused my mother's death, none of you deserve peace. I'll kill you all!"
Tao Er found she couldn't move, her divine sense disrupted by Tang Rao's elixir, and her secret came out uncontrollably.
It was the first time Li Qi Qi knew that Tao Er had a surname. She always thought Tao Er was just Tao Er. Now she said she was named Li, and accused Tang Rao of causing her mother's death. Tang Rao's quick mind instantly realized what was going on.
Could Li Tao be Li Zhentong's daughter?
Li Qi Qi's half-sister?
"Li Tao, your mother was Li Qi Qi's stepmother, right? Too bad I killed her. Too bad your brother could become the eldest son of the family, while you were made a maid for Li Qi Qi. Let me guess, your mother feared her firstborn was a daughter, so she had you become a maid for Li Qi Qi, constantly poisoning her. Isn't that right?"
The more Tang Rao speculated, the paler Li Qi Qi's face became. By the end, Li Tao was trembling all over, wanting to kill them both to satisfy her grievance.
"Come on, tell me, am I right or not?"
He was totally right, and that was why Li Tao wanted to kill Tang Rao.
Why should others have a good life while Li Tao had to serve as a slave for life, attending to Li Qi Qi forever?
"Tang Rao, is what you said true? Is Tao Er really my sister?"
Li Qi Qi couldn't believe it.
Tao Er had grown up with Li Qi Qi. What kind of hatred could make her serve Li Qi Qi under such circumstances?
No wonder the island was heavily guarded, yet someone still managed to poison Li Qi Qi's food.
It turned out that Tao Er was behind it all.
"Yes, my dear sister. Too bad you only know now. How does it feel to be poisoned for twenty years? Why didn't I increase the dose and kill you outright? Hahaha."
Before Li Tao could finish speaking, Tang Rao had already ended her life with a swift cut.
"Qi Qi, are you alright?"
Li Qi Qi fainted. If Tang Rao hadn't acted quickly, she would have fallen to the ground.
Tang Rao had no time for Li Tao's body and quickly got Li Qi Qi back to her room. In the meantime, he didn't notice a powerful shadow collecting Li Tao's corpse, disappearing, its identity unknown to all.
When Li Qi Qi awoke in the middle of the night, Tang Rao was still by her side, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
"Tang Rao, Tang Rao, someone wants to kill me!"
Li Qi Qi clutched Tang Rao's clothes, reluctant to let go. Silly girl, it won't happen, it won't happen.
Tang Rao held Li Qi Qi tightly, not letting her feel scared.
"Tang Rao, where is Li Tao, where is my sister?"
Even though Li Tao had wronged her in so many ways, Li Qi Qi still had some feelings for her. Tang Rao killed her just like that—was her vibrant life really over so easily?
"That's not your sister. She was a demonized woman unworthy of being your sister."
Tang Rao stroked Li Qi Qi's head, pulling her into his embrace, her safest, warmest place.
Li Qi Qi believed whatever Tang Rao said.
"But she was with me for twenty years, and now, suddenly, she's gone—it feels empty inside. Even if we weren't born of the same mother, I still don't want her gone just like that."
Li Qi Qi was kind-hearted. Tang Rao gave her a playful smack on the bottom.
"If you feel lonely, we can have a few children to keep you company. What do you think?"
Poof.
That's just how irreverent Tang Rao is. Who wants to have children with him anyway?
